Rui Borges on Sporting’s rival: I’ve often been shown a lack of respect | OneFootball

Rui Borges, coach of Sporting, gave a preview of the away match against Braga, part of round 25 of the Portuguese League, scheduled for 6:00 PM on Saturday. Asked whether he felt any lack of respect due to André Villas Boas speaking at the same time as his press conference, the coach said he no longer gives it any importance.

"I am concerned with what happens to me and my team. I have experienced so many instances of disrespect since I’ve been at Sporting that it’s something I don’t value anymore..." Regarding the exchange of remarks between Frederico Varandas and the president of the Dragons, the coach refused to comment.

"I’ll be like the weather, cold. I’ve already said what I had to say and I’m not going to comment further. The President is the highest authority in the Club. I’m only focused on a tough match in this path we’ve set out on. Suárez? I’ve already answered that. That’s in the past, I’m not even going to comment on it."

The coach also spoke about Zeno Debast’s situation: "He could be included in the squad and could already have been included against Porto, but he wasn’t chosen because we thought he wouldn’t be in the best physical condition. Tomorrow he might be," admitted the Lions’ boss.
